Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 24 cubes cheese see notes below for ideas
  • 12 slices hard or Genoa salami 2 ½ inches in diameter
  • 12 olives black or green
  • 12 baby dill pickles pieces similar in size to other ingredients
  • 12 grapes red or green

Equipment

  • Bamboo Skewers - 6 inch

Method
 

  1. On 12 - 6 inch skewers, thread 1 cheese cube and an olive. Set aside to make salami roses.
  2. Fold a piece of salami in half and then roll into a rose. Thread onto skewer next to the olive.
  3. Next thread a pickle piece, second cheese and a grape onto the skewer.
  4. Repeat to make 12 total skewers. Place on a serving platter or tray to serve.

Notes

You want a cheese that isn't too soft where it will fall apart, or too hard where it will crumble when you try to thread it on the skewer.
Some good options include: gouda, cheddar, Swiss, Colby, havarti, Monterrey jack, pepper jack, gruyere or manchego. I also love using ciliegine, which are the bite-size mozzarella pearls.
In these photos, I used a mild cheddar and mozzarella pearls.
